Hello, and welcome home
VF-Marines is a cult dedicated to the support of the USMC, their family, and their friends.
The Marine Corps is a family, and here, you are family too.
This is not a place where you will find many contests, polls, or games. This is a place for discussion, support, and moral boosting.
If you are reading this, there is a good chance that you are a Marine, or there is a Marine in your life. We have all been through the difficulties you are going through. We understand how you are feeling.
Join our family. Post when you can. Let us know how we can help you.
Semper Fidelis means Always Faithful
Rules
1. Do not create unnecessary drama.
2. Do not fight with other members in the threads. Keep your bickering to inboxes.
3. Please no "my husband or wife is higher rank than yours" pissing contests. We don't care. That is not the intent and purpose of this cult.
4. Staff will be selected by the Owner and Co-Owner. Please do not staff anyone without our explicit permission. Also- Staff positions will be given out according to need. Please do not nag us. If we need staff we will post a thread for it.
